[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1617797, member: 54417"] That version of the OS is machine specific, so you can not use a disk that came with type A to install that same OS on a mac of type B. On the disk there is an indication of the Mac type that it is intended for ( ie. Macbook pro, iMac, etc .... ) You could also contact Apple and ask for a retail version of the OS , I believe the cost is 20$. Such a set of disks can be loaded on any Mac type. Or it could still be that the disk is damaged or the ( CD/DVD ) disk drive is damaged. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
